Hate to break it to you but your DSi FW just isn't compatible with your card.

Only way to make it compatible is to downgrade the whitelist via hardware hacking.

Is this possible with DSi firmware 1.4.5? I found this guide: https://gbatemp.net/threads/dsi-downgrading-the-complete-guide.393682/ but all the exploits apparently work only if the system firmware is 1.4.1 or bellow. I would gladly attempt to downgrade my dsi if possible.. so if there really is a way of doing it could you at least point ME in the right direction?

It works yep.
I've done mine with it as well.
I've send me DSi to @StandardBus for the NAND mod.

I'm not disagreeing with you that is doesn't work however they've stopped production therefore there is going to be less support in the future.
I was thinking of just getting the gold version instead, do you have any opinions.

I don't know.... their site looks like a ripoff of the R4i-SDHC.com. It might be a rebrand of the same card, or it might be a bad quality card. No idea.

More foxes are always welcome . I'm not terribly familiar with the r4i cards. I got a DSTWO a few years ago and love it. I guess it really all comes down to preference and what you'll be doing with the card, but I for one enjoy all the bells and whistles it has to offer. Not to mention it works with DSi and 3DS systems with a quick and minor firmware update.

The DSTWO is great, but it drains a lot of power even when not in use. And it gets quite hot. And it is more expensive x.x
